Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 6 large eggs
Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar, American, or pepper jack cheese
Additional Ingredients:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter or oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) garlic powder
- 1 pinch smoked paprika
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by generously coating beef with a robust blend of aromatic seasonings, ensuring each side receives an even layer of flavor enhancement.
- Position a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat, allowing it to reach optimal temperature before introducing the seasoned meat and searing each surface for a precise 2-3 minute interval.
- Transfer the cooked protein to a cutting board, allowing brief resting time before slicing into delicate, uniform strips.
- Utilize the same skillet to create silky scrambled eggs, melting butter and gently folding the eggs until they achieve a soft, pillowy texture without overcooking.
- Select a clean work surface and position an egg roll wrapper at a diagonal angle, creating a diamond shape facing you.
- Strategically layer the carefully sliced beef strips, creamy scrambled eggs, and generous sprinkle of melted cheese at the central point of the wrapper.
- Execute precise folding techniques: fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in side edges, and roll tightly toward the top point, using a small amount of water to seal the final edge.
- Heat cooking oil to a precise 350°F, ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal crispiness.
- Carefully submerge the assembled rolls into the hot oil, rotating to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Remove the egg rolls and place on absorbent paper to drain excess oil, allowing them to cool slightly before serving with complementary dipping sauces.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier biting.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect steak doneness without overcooking.
- Pat the egg roll wrappers dry to prevent excess moisture that can make the rolls soggy.
- Allow ingredients to cool slightly before wrapping to prevent wrapper tearing and maintain structural integrity.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for unique flavor profiles.
- For a healthier version, air fry the egg rolls instead of deep-frying to reduce oil consumption.
- Keep oil temperature consistent for even browning and crispy exterior.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline the assembly process and ensure smooth cooking.
